This is me.


My latest studies:

Is about sustainable consumption, the Bródy-Martinás-Sajó model --- Ice age life and thermodynamic economy

An opinion about the SN scenario of Permo-Triassic extinction. Anthropic principle does not help here and drakonic (saurian) one is doubtful.

How did we walk proudly with erect hindlimbs amidst death, putrefaction and radiation under magenta skies; and did it happen at all? A contribution to the future closing report of IGCP384 from a Hungarian coworker.

Newest views in mammanogenesis and P/T spherules

Rise and fall of Atarneus --- Hermeias, hope of old, multipolar Hellas, dies on the cross.

I am a regular member of Hungarian OTKA Grant No. T/029542: Entropic constraints for possible futures . So I comment the lecture of the team leader K. Martinás.

The Lapedo child

Neanderthals are just very popular in science; no surprise: their fate is both an historical mystery and an evolutionary question. Everybody is commenting them;then why not I, President of the Matter Evolution Subcommittee of the Geonomy Scientific Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. So see and enjoy the Lapedo Child and the Szeleta Men, and remember Neanderthal.


The Earth-Moon system does queer phenomena; a comment to Fomenkology>


Hungarian history may be used to check Fomenkology, because Hungary was connected to Russia, Byzance and the West before 1300; second comment to Fomenkology>

Anomalies are in our Aristotle picture. Would New Chronology help? My third comment to Fomenkology>


Birds'eye view on the dimensionalities of spaces

Yamaguchi's horserider Pharaohs - An interesting family in the history of Japan

Hungary has 2 names in Japan. One is similar for construction to most countries: a katakana-written name taken from the international name of Hungary. However the other name is written in kanjis as only Eikoku=UK and Beikoku=USA on the West; Hungary is the third Western kanji country. You may ask: why this preference? I would add: why is Hungary called HUNGary at all? (And what is the pronounciation of the Japanese Kanji name?) Historical questions are seldom trivial and historical facts are seldom facts.

Janos Bolyai, first constructor of a non-Euclidean geometry was born 200 years ago. Let us remember him. Still efforts are needed to write his biography; a lot of things are not understood in his life. Maybe we force Information into a wrong scheme.

Honour for the mighty deceased - The (necessarily) Incomplete List of Avar Khagans

The Outlines of the History of the Carpathian Basin; from the viewpoint of the Basin itself, not of the peoples

Whose Cid? Aesthetes tell us that Sir Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar got his honorific title from the enemy. Indeed "Cid" means cca. "Lord" in Arab. But also in another language, whose speakers considered Sir Rodrigo their leader.

Green stars, Celestial Cows, Daltonian dogs, Tetrachromat Witches and other exotic things about colours; and Riemannian Geometry --- With Riemannian Geometry a Daltonian man can understand trichromat men (although still will have problems getting driver's license, but others' answers will be reasonable for him). A trichromat woman can understand her tetrachromat friend. Any man will still remain inferior in colour vision to a Tetrachromat Witch, but will partly understand her (what remains obscure will be the feminine text, but most men have verbal problems confronted with women). And if you are not interested in Riemannian Geometry (even many physicists are not), still you can enjoy its logic. Note that at finishing Technische Hochschule, even Einstein did not know what was it (see The Love Letters, Einstein to Mileva Marity, born in Titel, Bács-Bodrog County, Hungary), but then in 1912 his friend Marcell Grossmann (born in Budapest, Hungary) told him the formalism. Then came General Relativity. It is useful to know Riemannian Geometry. And colour space is not Euclidean.

Where are the null points of the chemical potentials; or where should they at least be? --- A piece of Riemann Gweometrical Thermodynamics; obviously uninteresting for Riemann Geometrical Thermodynamists; at least they do not cite it. Also Dr. Martinás does not cite it, which is interesting enough, considering that:

The First Law is going back to French Enlightment. Second Law goes back to Sadi Carnot, son of a leader of France during Directory. Third Law was manufactured by Nernst, a century ago, who became a Herr Professor, Prussian landowner and such. Now Dr. Martinás recognised the need for otherr similar Laws in 1980 and made a Fourth. In 1984 we together made a Fifth, but some necessity was not yet satisfied.

Here is a first approach to the Sixths. And Dr. Martinás does not cite/comment it for 9 years! My duty is to show it to World, and then I cannot be blamed. Here it is.
